Look at the views at any old fishing report on here, most over 1000+views, then look at any given time and a few members signed on. So that tells me that at least 80% of the traffic looking at your reports are lurkers, i guess with nothing to share. I feel blessed to live so close to the lake, and able to usually fish at least 3 times a week. I have a great group of guys that i share detailed info with, that ive met on this site and other fishing sites thru pm's. I post reports here and there with general info only, anything detailed is pm only for that reason. I have no problem sharing info with any member thru a pm,but im not gonna post detailed info for a 1000+lurkers to view who feel no need to contribute.

I understand what you are saying but here's my situation. I work a lot of hours and finally made it out for the first time this year and I did post my results - not so good. However, I sit at my computer all day at work with this site and a couple others open looking for some good news and wishing I had a fishing report to post. Sure many of those fishing reports have a 1000+ views but i'm probably responsible for at least 100+ views on every one of them.
THANK YOU to all those that fish and post their reports. Us overworked, underpaid minions greatly appreciate it. I'm taking a half day Tuesday and going to try it in the afternoon - if things stay calm at work. I will post a report if i make it.
Thanks again for all the quality reports on here.

Thank you for all the info. I am from the other end of the lake (Buffalo area). Our season opens Sat. and to tell you the truth we only got rid of the ice a few weeks ago. I envy your end of the lake - you are able to get out so much earlier than us. Most of our marinas and launch sites don't open until May 15th. I usually post on the eastern end but there are not many that contribute also. Right now our lake temperature is 39 deg. I enjoy reading about the success or lack of success that you are having. It keeps me looking forward to the great fishing days ahead.

I check this site 4-5 times a year just before I make a trip to Bolles Harbor. I haven"t been signing in. I damn sure will if it means any info will keep coming from the the guys that get on the water once a week or more. Without this info a guy like me has no chance of knowing where to start. Even with the info it's tuff to get to the right spot. I'm coming down tomorrow(wed.). Can't get there till noon. Can someone tell me where to start in relationship to the lighthouse. I will post my results Thur. Thanks again to all you guys that give up info.

Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind. But let's not look to next year - this year is going to be great! Keep pushing the fish this way. I checked the weather buoy and the water temperature is 38 deg. Boy that's going to get the fish going this weekend. I just took the boat in for some work - now I am at the mercy of the repair gods. Good luck fishing!

I have been reading all of the comments over the last few weeks and I am thankful for all of your help! I just signed up and am new at this. I have been fishing lake Erie since I was a kid 28yrs or so. I am docked west now and will be moving my boat east in early summer. I fished last Sunday on cone and caught one fish. Thanks again headed up tomorrow to try again.
